Upgraded steering linkage with Defiant dual steering stabilizers

[seafish]

After catching up on some research, I now know that I'd like to try a steering brace, but since I will sooner or later need a new steering box, that that is a component that wouldn't transfer to a box upgrade.

Is there a steering box brace, that will work on both a factory box as well as a future upgrade?


Thanks in advance for the info.

I have the Defiant dual setup on mine. I originally installed it with the stock steering linkage. When I installed the 08 upgrade linkage Paul Fox sent me the new brackets for a good price. I also did some R&D for him.

Hoot, I've heard that dual stabilizers will just mask DW, not cure it. Are you glad you did the duals? Masking sure seems like a cure to me.

Yo Hoot,



What did you modify to allow the stabilizer to fit without hitting the diff guard and differential cover on the driver's side?

Paul Fox gave me modified brackets designed to work with the steering upgrade. I don't remember specifics of the mounting change only that I tweeked it for a while till I was satisfied.

All that matters to me is I can drive with 100% security even with parts worn and never get a hint of DW. Bandaids are temporary... this isn't a bandaid. It's an addition piece of equipment that belongs, in my book.
